I am here without a trace
Told to stand in one place
I twitch with so many fleas
When I hold all the keys
Yet what am I to do
So I stand here without a trace
Bored
Jeremy Soffen
I'm bored ever so bored
Won't someone play with me hear me see me
Please notice I'm sad
I'm a person yet no one cares so many others to notice
So they don't notice me and when they do…
So old so young what age do I have to be to be noticed
No one's here for me to protect me at all
The rules I follow I do my job
When it's my time to shine
Someone interrupts
I need a life someone to care I try to talk but all that comes out is
Uh, um, please don't, stop please, can I have one?
When I say something no one hears please notice that I'm here
I'm scared, depressed, sad, lonely, forgotten
Help me I'm bored someone cure the sickness
My throat is dry I'm hungry too
Help me now and I'll be here for you
I am thirteen
Jeremy Soffen
Every day is the same
Given instructions so I follow
My brain is blank no original idea
What I do say think has already happened
So I look at things that have no meaning
As I go to school with hope of dreaming
Broken but still working
Jeremy Soffen
A wing can break but be mended
The healing makes things work
A fever is cured
But one thing has never been fixed
Not one clue on how to do it
The death can never be stopped
Soon the world will die out
Things may burn the ozone layer destroyed
Our world leveled by death
Crumbled to ash but don't worry
A cure no one made
Nutrition will come from our death
Evolution of plants
Surviving species
In all death there is a cure it makes things progress
Our death will bring health we don't have to fix the world
But if we want to fix the earth make everything natural
Destroy what we made make nothing more
But then the sad death of all to make everything better
The dead human is like manure to grass
We are the ones who broke the world
Keep
Jeremy Soffen
Items are found items are kept
But when their lost we panic
We get angry, we scream
It must have meant allot
Were frustrated, blaming, irrational
We frantically search when we found it were relieved
That was the past now were grown
We know what to do we know how to act
But when people don't learn that's sad
Upsetting to know some don't mature with age
Childish antics are still done screaming at mothers and running away
We were grown were less mature were we more controllable as kids
Hate rises screaming and yelling and in all this the found thing is lost again
Do us no aniting
Jeremy Soffen
Literature is wrong
Grammar is wrong
No one uses punctuation
Smart people getting dumber
Phones make us stupid
Say it into the phone instead of typing
Were lazier because of technology
It does things for us
Video games control kids
Adults on social networking
No one learns anything from all these advancements
We are slowly going to let all things be up to robots
War
Jeremy Soffen
People die
Words are spoken
Lives are taken
Brother kill brother
Family betray family
Children aren't spared
Neither are women
Nothing gained
Only lost
Pleased by this
Your sick
You are the worst
You make it
It never leaves
Memorials are made to keep sadness
Remind us of pain
Never wanting to let the time fly by
Take out the old bring in the new
Weapons are made
Knives, guns, slings, bats, nails, shovels
We make things that can kill
That will only start another war
Where did you go?
Jeremy Soffen
This used to be pretty
This used to be wonderful
With you by my side
What happened
Something happened
Tell me I'm suffering
It was great it was wonderful
To have you here was good
Now your not
Your leaving
Growing farther apart
You keeping secrets
Your not telling me everything
We promised to tell each other everything
nothing can be the same
you lied to me
betrayed me
it was never good
never nice, never made you happy
I'm a fool
Everything you said was a lie
When everything I said came from the heart
You were a good puppeteer
Now the show is over now I know what you are
I will tell you all I think of the time we had
How you betrayed me
How it feels to be stomped upon
Ungrateful
Now your not here
I can't talk to you anymore
The void will never be filled now that I let my heart go
You took it with you
If you came back will you give it to me
The days are empty now that your gone
Where did you go
Haunting
Jeremy Soffen
It follows me
Scares me
Hurts me
What does it I do not know
But I do know it wants me ruined
To put me down is its goal
To make my life miserable
To chase me it will never stop
Never exhausted never weak
Growing more powerful
It wants me
To run away
Impossible
It can follow
To escape I can
It will take allot to get away
My feelings
My life
My family
I will become dead
To escape the dead
